Hi all,
Maybe some one can clear this up for me. I just got the Dec. 90 Incider
Mag. On page 9 there in an Applied Engineering ad for accelerator boards.
Ok....the first paragraph reads as follows, "A blank sheet of engineering
paper. For some time now, we've done all of our design work using CAD
(computer aided design), but the blank sheet of paper shown above represents
future AE peripherals and accessories for the Apple II line." I found this
paragraph to be very concerning. Does this mean they are no longer going
to make new products for the Apple II? If I have gotten this wrong and
some one else out there has interpreted this differently please send me
mail. I'm confused, is this the way they advertise their products?

My interpretation: they're going to be making new products that will depend upon features designed into the TransWarp GS. If you buy someone else's (e.g. Zip), you won't be able to take advantage of the neat new stuff that will be coming out. They really stressed "future compatibility." Anyone read something else into the ad? -- Dave Tribby

Could anyone give me a review of Audio Animator from AE? I was recently thinking
that my IIgs MIGHT just be considered a Synthesizer in a computer case, i.e.
a Mini FairLight (for 9000$ less). To take advantage of this I'm gonna have to
get;
Hardware
~~~~~~~~
1. Card to let me do digital sampling
2. Card to allow me midi interface
3. Card to allow me stereo output
Software
~~~~~~~~
1. Program that allows me to play a midi keyboard and
place the input up on a staff (pyware or Music Studio)
2. Program to allow me to change digital sounds to ASIF.
3. Program to allow me to manipulate the actual WAVE of the
sound I want to make (otherwise its not digital synthesis).
From what I have heard the Audio Animator would take care of all my
hardware needs in one shot except a midi keyboard (which I'll look outside
the computer field for anyway...).
Any help or advice here would make me name my next child after you.

I just picked up a copy of InCider today (probably the only time I'll ever buy it; I just wanted to see firsthand what everyone was talking about :-) ). I think all that AE is guilty of is being a bit ambiguous in their ad, since you can interpret what they said in two completely opposite ways. (Let's just hope that's all there is to it.) ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scott Alfter _/_ / v \ Apple II: Internet: alfter@uns-helios.nevada.edu ( ( the power to be your best!

A week or so back, I read a message saying that Applied Engineering had made a change in thier warranty for Apple // products and changed thier Apple // tech. support # to a 1-900-XXX-XXXX number. Is there any truth to this? Ron acct069@carroll1.cc.edu carroll1!acct069@uwm.edu
